All diamonds are common. This isn't the 19th century. The only reasons diamonds are expensive is because of a century-long ad campaign and a century of men (ETA: and women) gullible enough to be convinced that spending exorbitant amounts of money on an essentially useless item is an appropriate and traditional display of one's love.

I paid almost 20k for my wife's ring and 9 years later I gurantee I can get close to that if I sold it.

Some people buy old diamonds. I love antique jewelry.

Chicken isn't exactly thousands of dollars a pop though.

You can eat a diamond but 0 nutritional value.
